Palm Announces the Pre
Sprint? are you kidding me?
I don't think their 'any device' policy is meant to allow consumers to bring any device, it's set up more for manufacturers.
ruining this like they did the storm.. i got a chance to play with a friends storm who works for rim and has it unlocked working on At&t's network..all i can say is WOW... the difference, still needs some work, but Night and Day!!
but Palm just is out of its leaugue anyways these days.

Strange, when you unlock the Storm, you lose 3G speeds in the US. It will work fine on edge but a little slower.
Verizon doesn't "hack" the phones down to nothing as I have explained to you before 🤣
i think if you polled everyone in the industry they would indeed agree that Verizon does indeed CRIPPLE its devices..
so there
uhhh huuu

old news rapidly becoming history 😁
2) Sprint is the best way to access Verizon's network.
3) Verizon wasted its "special phone" card on the Storm.
Go Sprint!

I'm going to say because Verizon likes to strip everything down to the bare minimum and with this new OS on it I doubt Palm wants that to happen. Verizon gives phones a bad rep. That's why phones like the Touch Pro have crap reviews.
Actually, The Touch Pro got excellent ratings when it was tested on Sprint's network. It was said that Sprint's network made the device shine!
Palm will have much more control of the final specs of the device because Sprint needs this phone in their lineup. Palm seems to have a winner on their hands, but they cannot afford to let a carrier dictate specs on a device that so much is riding on for them.
Sprint gets their new "it" phone and hopes that the Pre and their upcoming Android device along with their value pricing will be enough to get back in consumers' good graces.
Will it work out? I have no idea, but it certainly seems to be a positive move for both.
on the network side sprints network in data no one can come close to it palm made a good choice here they will have a great phone with a good network call me fan boy all you want i just gave facts
The majority of Educational institutions, Govt Agencies, Emergency agencies and Corporations use Sprint. Look at the contracts Sprint has with Time Warner (which owns damn near everything) ABC/ESPN (both owned by Disney) Fox (owned by NewsCorp which is huge), NFL and Nascar for example, their subsidiaries as well.

YOU need to get YOUR facts straight, prior to Sprint taking over Nextel, Nextel had the largest business customer base. Sprint/Nextel still dominates in that department. ATT and Verizon has been focusing more on having a flashy phone and catchy commercials to attract the "consumer base."

Did you miss the part in the second paragraph where it says "the majority?" Fanboy?? That sounds very childish!
Well here is what you said: 🤭
"The majority of Educational institutions, Govt Agencies, Emergency agencies and Corporations use Sprint."
Speaking of childish, it would be wise to go back to school and learn a little more about what you are saying before you give us Sprint commercials.
The reason why I see Verizon phones with the feds for fanboy newbies:

AT&T, Qwest Communications International and Verizon now hold the majority of "US Govt" contracts known as Networx Universal. Sprint still holds US Govt contracts and is part of Network Universal as well.
